Turns and "the ball"

[MaxGunz]

If you spend time practicing nothing but flying you will be able to only need to check once in a while. The rest of the time you will be able to tell from cues and the habits of your training will see you through.

How often do you check the speedometer when you drive? When I ran old VW's, the engine noise and gear told me most of the time. Those are cues.

Practice just flying to get good, get better and stay better. When you are concentrating on many other things, good flying needs to be done without much thinking --- it can be poor flying more easily by not practicing.

So practice flying where the enemy to watch for is everything that slows you down and find ways to lose less or not lose at all. Find out if you've fallen into making nose high mushy turns or skidding around. Find out what you're too busy to see in combat that leaves you thinking the others cheat.
